I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 809 - 810 Trade_1

"Divine Points are a supreme glory!" Cecilia gazed at Song Jian with envy in her eyes and said, "Even deities need them. It takes a thousand years of divine power to condense a single Divine Point. I am not at liberty to divulge what the gods use them for, but if an ordinary person happens to obtain Divine Points, they can trade with deities and purchase some extremely precious items from them."

"You mean they can act as a currency? And it's a currency recognized by the gods?" Song Jian's heart was stirred, and he quickly asked.

"Indeed!" Cecilia nodded and said, "The Goddess of Dawn has issued a divine decree to me; she wishes to trade with you for the Divine Point you have acquired!"

Having said that, Cecilia waved her hand, and a translucent screen appeared before Song Jian. It displayed an array of items, each of immeasurable value;

This screen was only visible to Song Jian, and all the items on it could only be purchased with Divine Points;

"Epic and Legendary Level items are the least valuable on this screen?" Song Jian stared at the screen, dumbfounded, the shock in his heart indescribable;

However, there were many treasures on the screen, but Song Jian could only buy three items because he had only one Divine Point;

The three items were "Goddess of Dawn Holy Child Qualification," "Dawn Secret Art: Holy Bird Massacre Slash," and "Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword";

Only the values of these three items were one Divine Point, Song Jian could only salivate at the rest;

The Holy Child qualification and the Dawn Secret Art seemed worth the exchange for one Divine Point, but the Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword, merely a Dark Gold Quality longsword, required one Divine Point, which made Song Jian's face turn somewhat unsightly.

"A Dark Gold Quality longsword for one Divine Point? Isn't this a bit of a rip-off?" Song Jian asked with a displeased look, pointing at the Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword on the screen.

"All trade is voluntary, there's no coercion in buying or selling!" Cecilia said with a smile on her face;

Song Jian fell silent. If this sword wasn't the last one needed for his set, he wouldn't have given it a second glance.

All of a sudden, a respectful and attentive expression appeared on Cecilia's face. After a moment, she said to Song Jian, "If you choose the Holy Child qualification, then this sword can be given to you directly for free!"

"In fact, not just anyone can take on the Holy Child qualification. You see, once you become the Holy Child, you will have tremendous authority..." Cecilia thoroughly explained the privileges of the Holy Child of the Dawn Church to Song Jian.

A Holy Child qualification, in any church, is an existence second only to one, above tens of thousands, with only the Pope of a church ranking above him, yet he has no authority to control the Holy Child;

Moreover, the next Pope is very likely to have the Holy Child assume the position. Most importantly, the Holy Child has the right to directly converse with the deity at any time, which is far superior to the rank of Archbishop promised by the Eighth Demon King;

"What must be done to become the Holy Child?" Song Jian couldn't help asking;

"First, you would need to establish a temple of the Goddess of Dawn in the City of Hope. Then you must develop devotees and promise the church the same authority as the city lord..." Cecilia softly explained.

Song Jian's brow furrowed deeply as he listened;

"I choose the Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword!" Song Jian declared, and with a light tap on the screen, the Dark Gold Quality longsword disappeared from the screen and materialized in the palm of Song Jian's hand;

Cecilia hadn't finished speaking when she saw Song Jian had already made his choice. She fell silent, her gaze towards Song Jian filled with an inexplicable sentiment;

"May you have no regrets in the future!" Cecilia whispered, her figure slowly vanishing into thin air;

"City Lord..." Wang Qi and the others surrounded him with concern; to refuse a god seemed to them, a very unwise thing to do. @@novelbin@@

"The City of Hope is not a place for others to covet, and who would allow another to snore beside their bed? Even gods are not allowed!" Song Jian said decisively.

If it were merely a matter of establishing a temple to the Goddess of Dawn in the City of Hope, Song Jian would not have refused, but the other party demanded a share of the city lord's authority, which Song Jian would never allow.

"Alright, step back for now. I'll go back to that magic crystal mine and scout around, see if it's possible to take it into my possession," Song Jian said.

Wang Qi and the others exchanged glances, bowed to Song Jian, and quietly withdrew.

Holy points are extremely precious, coveted even by gods. Exchanging holy points for a dark gold quality weapon was clearly a big loss, but Song Jian had no choice.

Such set weapons are unique, and a second Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword would never appear. Song Jian's weapon set would never be complete.

The moment Song Jian obtained the Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword, the four long swords within his dantian resonated, as if they were eager to merge with the Shattered Rock Sky-breaking Sword.

A gentle swipe of his finger on the blade, a drop of blood merged into the sword, and Song Jian immediately felt a sense of kinship emanating from the long sword.

With a stretch of his right hand, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword appeared in his palm. The newly acquired long sword, like swallows returning to their nest, flew towards the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, merging with it as a ghostly sword shadow.

At that moment, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword suddenly burst into a dazzling light and then, the long sword disappeared, replaced by a pebble-sized orb of light.

Within this orb, one could vaguely see five dark gold streams of light swimming like fish, constantly moving about, sometimes separating, sometimes merging into one.

Upon checking the properties of the orb, it was labeled "Unknown Properties," and there was a twelve-hour cooldown period. Clearly, the fusion of the five long swords had resulted in a new change.

"I hope it brings me a pleasant surprise!" A smile formed on Song Jian's face.

Then, Song Jian took out the battle pet angel egg. He already had two battle pets, and if he continued to incubate this one, he would have to pay the price of a 3-point reduction in all attribute points.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Jian called Wang Qi back.

Since the establishment of the City of Hope, nearly all its operations were actually carried out by Wang Qi, which cost him a lot of time that could have been used for leveling up. His strength might now be the weakest among the City of Hope's management team, having only just reached level thirty.

"Wang Qi, this is for you. Train it well, I believe it will be of help to you!" Song Jian handed the angel egg to Wang Qi, saying.

"A battle pet egg?" Wang Qi's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he took it, saying, "What kind of pet is it? It's not a giant dragon, is it?"

Having a black dragon as a battle pet, members of the City of Hope Alliance were envious and had always hoped to have a giant dragon of their own.

"It's not a giant dragon!" Song Jian said with a smile.

Disappointment flashed in Wang Qi's eyes.

"It's an angel!"

"What, an angel? How is that even possible..."
